HELLO KITTY IS NOT A CAT! SHE’S ACTUALLY A HUMAN BEING! Whew, caps off now.

Sanrio proofread Yano’s texts for the exhibit and corrected her when she described Hello Kitty as a cat.

As quoted, “I was corrected – very firmly,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “That’s one correction Sanrio made for my script for the show. Hello Kitty is not a cat. She’s a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She’s never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it’s called Charmmy Kitty.”

So, Hello Kitty is a human British girl named Kitty White and she has her own backstory.

So, get this… Kitty White is a twin and a perpetual third-grader. As quoted from Times: “She is a Scorpio. She loves apple pie. And she is the daughter of George and Mary White.” Um… HUWAT?
